So would anybody have any suggestions on alternate routes for the cruise? My idea was just something I concoted from the top of my head, but it sounds like a lot of other groups do this run too. If anybody has any ideas that might be a little more original, I'm all for it!
I haven't been keeping a tally over there, but if I had go guess conservatively I would say at least 5 cars.
Okay, I think I have the route figured out... using Google Maps, I found what looks like a decent size parking lot on the northwest corner of W. Georgia and Denman that we can stop at after getting out of Stanley Park so that we can all join up again in case we lose part of the pack.
I don't know Vancouver that well, so if anybody sees anything that I could change in my route to make it better, please make suggestions. I tried to map it out so that we would have the least chance of getting seperated at any time.
Home Depot (first meeting spot) to Stanley Park to regroup spot
1. Out of Home Depot parking lot from the rear

10. Head straight down Beach Ave. (don’t veer to the right) and it will turn into Morton Ave.
11. Morton Ave. ends at Denman St.

As far as lunch goes... is everybody OK with the Prospect Point Cafe?
If I get enough yes's, I will make a reservation, probably for 10-15 people.
A member just PM'ed me regarding FRS radios... if anybody has them, please bring them! They will be great at keeping all of us in touch if we get seperated.
I will be running mine on channel 12-5 if anybody else is bringing a set.
Theres a very good photo op right next to the train station that your route drives by, its the new city works yard........has this huge cement wall, we could easily fit 20 car single file there....................just an idea.......
